METAWATER New METAgenomics and molecular based tools for European scale identification and control of emergent microbial contaminants in irrigation WATER Coordinator:
Rosina Girones
(Spain)
Participating countries:
Cyprus, Denmark, Germany
MOTREM Integrated processes for MOnitoring and Treatment of Emerging contaminants for water reuse Coordinator:

These seven projects will start after the establishment of a Consortium Agreement. Grants will be received from the national funding institutions supporting each partner in the consortium, according to national rules.

These projects will be funded by the following Water JPI partners: BMBF (Germany), MINECO (Spain), AKA (Finland), ONEMA (France), RCN (Norway), Innovations Fonden - former DCSR (Denmark), MIUR (Italy), FCT (Portugal), EPA (Ireland), CDTI (Spain), and RPF (Cyprus). Funding decisions will be made by these organisations later this year.
